His scrapbooks, however, were to document his sexual conquests. Complete with pictures. Somehow I don’t think Bruce’s wife lets him roll that way.

Art confuses me mostly.

I am pretty averse to any sort of Hen Party unless, like you, I pick the hens. Tupperware, Avon, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef any of them. I get my friends want to make money and I am always willing to order something but do not make me come and watch some bint try to nuke a chicken and tell me it is haute cuisine. ugh.

Bruce,

Darlin’... I still say you need to address that wild boar situation to truly get your man card reinstated. ;)

Faith+1,

The domestic stuff you learned to deal with in the military is what makes my life worth living. My husband was in the air force and ten times the domestic god. I knew I made a good choice when he did my laundry. Mel, can attest to the sexual arousal factor of a man that does laundry to a woman with kids. It was just another reason to appreciate the military.

Now that, I can respect! ;-)

Lately, I’ve been pouring all of my creativity into decorating. I like faux painting a lot, but I hate the prep and cleanup – I just want to do the fun, creative parts. I just made a big, fantastic handpainted cross – I saw one at our big Nutcracker Market for $90 and knew that I could make it for $20 or less. I did. Next, painting the bedroom and bathroom of son #3 – and new bathroom tile.

My husband will do lots of crazy things if he thinks he’ll get lucky, too. Usually it involves spending money cuz I’m a whore like that and it involves less effort for him. Heh.

And yes Jen, I know you love me. I can handle the abuse. After all, many of the ladies who will read this will find me to be interesting to say the least. As to the dudes, I dont give a rat’s ass what they think of me :) I’m all about the ladies.

I’ve worn pink underwear. Granted, it was due to a bad mixture of a red short and underwear in the wash during my bachelor days, but I did feel my balls shrink because of it.

Still, I drew the line when the wife went through the scrap-booking phase. I’m with you, Bruce needs to come here and completely defend himself. Claim it was for sex, or at least something big and electronic or in excess of 300 horsepower.

OK, I’m going watch some sports, belch or something else a tad more manly because just reading this has caused me some….shrinkage.

Btw, quilting is an art. I have the utmost respect for quilters. In fact, I want to go to amish country for the sole purpose of buying a kick ass quilt.

Perhaps you can go with me and carry my purse, sweetness.

• muah * you know I would not mess with you if i didn’t think you were man enough to take it.

As Jen said, I am a man’s man. I love to hunt, fish, play sports, coach, etc etc. Mostly though, I love sex. I’m alll about getting into my wife’s pants. Everything I do is pretty much motivated by that fact. I have married for almost 11 years now and the sex frequency has been down over the last year or so. Wifey has been dropping hints that all my extra curricular activities have taken away from our “face” time. Yes, she does go dove hunting with me, but that is the most limited hunt of the season and besides, the kids go too so our time isn’t considered “alone”. Wifey mentioned that perhaps we could scrapbook together because we are both interested in organizing all of our kids sports pictures. Knowing that if I said OK it would lead to me being in her panties, I said sure. It’s what I do. Sue me. The fact that it happened to be not completely gut-wrenching was icing on the cake. Rest assured Jen, my balls are still hanging between MY legs and they are quite empty now, thank you very much. All is well.

My only question to Jen is this: when are we quilting darling?

Well I am creative too, just not in a way that involves floofy stuff. You are talking to a woman who had 12 custom blog skins at one point. Talk about OCD. There is just something about these scrapbookers around here anyway. They have slumber parties at scrapbook stores where they all spend the night cutting pasting!

I secretly think these are sex parties. It has to be.

I would take offense, but I understand what you’re saying. I started scrapbooking when the boys were babies and I had so many pictures and they were all just so cute! I am also terminally creative and crafty and it was a way to wind down. Mine were creative, but not overly foo-foo. I always made sure the picture was the focus.

However, I have not scrapbooked in at least five years. I am, in addition to creative, I change projects frequently, and was very ADD and OCD about each page so I never got to finish enough. Also, around the time my mom died, I made four huge boards with her photos for the funeral and kind of lost my steam on it.

I have seen guys that scrapbook, and didn’t think anything of it, just assumed they were artsy. I guess I can see your point about the balls being carried in the “Crop-in-Style” Jumbo organizer bag, though. My husband couldn’t even conceive of doing it, but I have to admire that your friend wants to spend additional time with his wife sharing something she loves. Does she hunt with him?
